There is a case in jackson court which
creates quite a sensation. Judge Emory
Speer has entered suit against his old
| friend Bose Duke, and claims that half
interest in 1877 acres of land belonging to

At CedartOwn Wednesday Miss Lula
Hurst, the great electrical wonder. who
created such a iurOre three years ago,
was married to Paul NJ. Atkinson, who
was her manager during her stage life.
The couple were to have been married
during their tour of the United STATES, but
friends lnterposed for several reasons. 1t
was feared that marriage might weaken
the strange power out OF which the girl
was making so much money; besides, it
was advisable that Miss Lula should go
to school little longer. When 100000
was put away the family concluded that
they mad money enough upon which to re-
tire. Miss Lula was sent 10 Shorter Col
lege, in Rome, and Mr.. Atkinson was
taken into confidence by the family and
aided in the investment of the fortune.
Last December Miss Lula concluded her
education and went home to get married.
Atkinson is now engaged in the manufac-
tuTe OF scales in CHATTANOOGA, and ia that
city the couple will live.
J. s. Lee, Chinaman, now said to be a
guest at the Highland Park Hotel, Aiken,
visited Augusta Wednesday ana reg
istered at the Central. Later, in company
with Mrs. NJ. E. Vanderpool, Northern
lady, he entered the dining room OF the
hotel. Instantly there was "kick."
One gentleman AatlY refused to sit at
table with Chinaman and lett the room,
others protested and complained very
bitterly to the proprietor, aud are still
very Indignant over the matter. Lee,
who, by the way, registered in Chinese
nieroglypnics, and his companion, con-
tinued their meal uDmolested, and Left the
city on the 4:11 Aiken train. The cUm-
plants OF the guests were so positive that
the matter soon went the rounds and for
time was turned over and over by the
gossips. The hotel people knew Lee was
Cbinaman. They also knew him TO be
wealthy and tourist. He has been en-
tertained at the Highland Park in Aiken,
they say, and there it was that his ac-
quaintanoe with Mrs. Vanderpool was
made. The two happened to go over to
Augusta together, it seems, and, by invi-
tation OF Lee, the lady dined with him.
